That's not defenseive win shares, in case you read it as such. It's WSAB, which measures offense and defense combined.
The defensive win shares look like this...
Gonzo (2007) - 3.6
Keppinger - 3.5
Greene - 3.7
Beltre - 3.1
Encarnacion - 2.3
Atkins (2007) - 2.2
Atkins had a 3.1 in 2008, but split his innings between 1B and 3B, so his 2007 number is more idicative. It's also in-line with his career #s at 3B. He's on the same level of suckitude as EE. Also, Gonzo's fielding #s were a career low. He's normally around 6-7. His age could account for some of that drop, but not all, I think. I still believe he's unquestionably better than Greene/Keppinger in the field.
